  1. Hybrid Vehicle

  2. Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid. • Most hybrid cars on the road right now are gasoline-electric hybrids • Peugeot Citroen has diesel-electric hybrid cars in the works.

  3. A gas-powered car has a fuel tank, which supplies gasoline to the engine. The engine then turns a transmission, which turns the wheels • A gasoline car meets these requirements but produces a relatively large amount of pollution and generally gets poor gas mileage

  4. An electric car, on the other hand, has a set of batteries that provides electricity to an electric motor. The motor turns a transmission, and the transmission turns the wheels • An electric car, however, produces almost no pollution, but it can only go 50 to 100 miles (80 to 161 km) between charges. And the problem has been that the electric car is very slow and inconvenient to recharge

  5. The hybrid is a compromise. It attempts to significantly increase the mileage and reduce the emissions of a gas-powered car while overcoming the shortcomings of an electric car.

  6. Gasoline-electric Hybrid Structure • Gasoline-electric hybrid cars contain the following parts: • Gasoline engine • Fuel tank • Electric motor • Generator • Batteries • Transmission

  7. Gasoline engine - The hybrid car has a gasoline engine much like the one you will find on most cars. However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. • Fuel tank - The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for the gasoline engine. Gasoline has a much higher energy density than batteries do. For example, it takes about 1,000 pounds of batteries to store as much energy as 1 gallon (7 pounds) of gasoline. • Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.

  8. Generator - The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power. It is used mostly on series hybrids • Batteries - The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power the gasoline engine, the electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into the batteries as well as draw energy from them. • Transmission - The transmission on a hybrid car performs the same basic function as the transmission on a conventional car.

  9. Combination two power sources found in a hybrid car in different ways • Parallel hybrid, has a fuel tank that supplies gasoline to the engine and a set of batteries that supplies power to the electric motor. Both the engine and the electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time, and the transmission then turns the wheels

  10. Series hybrid, the gasoline engine turns a generator, and the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the transmission. Thus, the gasoline engine never directly powers the vehicle

  11. Hybrid-car Performance • The key to a hybrid car is that the gasoline engine can be much smaller than the one in a conventional car and therefore more efficient • There are several reasons why smaller engines are more efficient than bigger ones: • The big engine is heavier than the small engine, so the car uses extra energy every time it accelerates or drives up a hill. • The pistons and other internal components are heavier, requiring more energy each time they go up and down in the cylinder. • The displacement of the cylinders is larger, so more fuel is required by each cylinder. • Bigger engines usually have more cylinders, and each cylinder uses fuel every time the engine fires, even if the car isn't moving • The same model cars with different engines can get different mileage

  12. Improving Fuel Economy • Recover energy and store it in the battery • "regenerative braking." • Sometimes shut off the engine

  13. Toyota Prius • to reduce emissions in urban areas • parallel hybrid powertrain • capable of accelerating the vehicle to speeds up to 15 mph (24 kph) on electric power alone

  14. The Prius mainly relies on two features to optimize efficiency and reduce emissions: • Its engine only runs at an efficient speed and load • It uses a unique power split device • allows the engine to stay in its most efficient load and speed range most of the time

  15. POWER SPLIT DEVICE • gearbox that hooks the gasoline engine, generator and electric motor together • allows the car to operate like a parallel hybrid • allows the car to operate like a series hybrid

  16. When accelerate, initially the electric motor and batteries provide all of the power. The ring gear of the power split device is connected to the electric motor, so it starts to spin with the motor. The planet carrier, which is connected to the engine, is stationary because the engine is not running. Since the ring gear is spinning, the planets have to spin, which causes the sun gear and generator to spin. As the car accelerates, the generator spins at whatever speed it needs to in order for the engine to remain off.

  17. Once reaching about 40 mph (64 kph), the gasoline engine will turn on. The generator suddenly changes speed, causing the planet carrier to turn and start the engine. Once the engine is running, it settles into a constant speed while the generator varies its speed to match the output speed with the electric motor. If you are really accelerating hard, the motor will draw extra power from the batteries. Once you are up to freeway speed, the car will move under a combination of gas and electric power, with all of the electricity coming from the generator.
